Sanding and Painting

Once everything is dry, slowly sand all white areas until you have the desired effect. I just worked my way around the dome removing excess compound so that my pieces that I would have to glue in later would sit flush.
Slowly work your way around the dome getting into all the little areas. I used a small folded piece of fine grit sand paper, and also an emery board like the ones used to file your nails down. I also taped off the blue ring, again with masking tape, and repainted the dome the silver color when I was finished.
